The century-old Ikeda Mojodo is the leader in Japan's mosquito bite anti-itch products industry, accounting for half of the Japanese OTC topical drug market, and its products have the largest market share in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries and regions.
Ikeda Mofan Tang has a wide range of products, including incomparable drops, incomparable creams, powerful incomparable creams, baby eczema creams and creams, which are familiar to Chinese consumers, including solutions and ointments, suitable for children and adults, the most popular of which is Incombi Drip, which is now the most prestigious mosquito bite anti-itch topic, which has become a household name in Chinese mainland and is one of the most popular products for overseas shopping and daigou.
Wubi Drip can be said to be the hottest mosquito bite anti-itch topical product today, but because it is a drug, imports are restricted, so fakes are rampant in the Chinese market. The announcement published on Ikeda's official website also shows that it has not entered the Chinese mainland market, nor has it authorized Chinese mainland agents, and all products are produced in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, and there is no so-called "MOPI Korean version" or "MOPI national version". In other words, most of the "Wubi drops" you see on domestic e-commerce platforms are not genuine, even if they are hung with "flagship store" signs.
At present, it is not easy for mainland consumers to buy genuine products, e-commerce platforms and major supermarkets and pharmacies are almost full of counterfeit goods, and there are countless dog meat sold under the banner of the Hong Kong version, although a few stores may have genuine products, but the price is double that of the Hong Kong version, so it is still recommended to go to Japan or Hong Kong to buy directly, or through overseas websites to shop, when purchasing, the easiest way to judge the authenticity is to see whether it has the MULI® trademark.
At present, Chinese consumers commonly use Wubi Drip has two versions of the Japanese version and the Hong Kong version, the difference between the two is that the Japanese version contains dexamethasone acetate and isopropyl methylphenol, dexamethasone acetate belongs to adrenal corticosteroids, is the main ingredient of dermatitis ointment, and is effective in dealing with local pruritus, various dermatitis and chronic eczema, and the treatment effect of mosquito bites is also good, supplemented by isopropyl methylphenol antibacterial agent, which has a good bactericidal effect and can also inhibit product oxidation.
The Hong Kong version of Wubi Drip, which is generally around 30 Hong Kong dollars, uses diphenhydramine hydrochloride (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) as the main anti-itch ingredient, which is a first-generation antihistamine drug. Antihistamine is more effective for allergic symptoms, especially eczema, urticaria and allergic dermatitis, and it is also effective for itching caused by minor skin irritation such as mosquito bites, mild sunburn, and plant allergies.
Wubi has also launched a children's version for children, the ingredients of this product are relatively single, only diphenhydramine hydrochloride and moisturizing ingredient panthenol, which is less irritating than the adult version, but although the antihistamine topical (hydrochloride) diphenhydramine has a certain anti-itching effect, it will irritate the skin and easily cause allergies, although it is advertised that children over 6 months old can be used safely, but according to the recommendations of the US FDA, children under 2 years old should not use such products.
In addition to the incomparable drops, MUHI has also launched two incomparable creams for Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau, the ordinary model is similar to the wind oil essence, mainly relying on the menthol and camphor in the ingredients to make the human body have a cooling feeling, with salicylic acid methyl grease to stimulate the skin, bring a burning sensation, and divert people's attention through the paralyzing effect of double stimulation, but it cannot reduce swelling and itching from the root, and it is not recommended.
Although there is no hormone ingredient (dexamethasone acetate), the other powerful incomparable cream is added, but the antihistamine ingredient diphenhydramine hydrochloride is added, which is more effective than the ordinary model, and is made into an ointment, which is more convenient to apply, small and portable, and the price is almost the same as the Hong Kong version of Wubi drops, which is also a good choice.
